Famous quotes containing the words run and/or victory:
“Power, I said. Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the holy of holies. Power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moons frightened of me. Frightened to death. The whole worlds frightened to death.”
—R.C. Sherriff (18961975)
“It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victors terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
